Press speaker for the RA Cassation Court released information regarding the reasons behind the postponement of the “Case of Seven”.
According to the press release, the court ruled a judicial sanction against the indicted by removing them from the courtroom “guided by articles 42, 314 and 314.1 of the RA Criminal Court Code and accepting as a basis the fact that during the trial on 12 February of 2009, the culprits who were standing up did not obey the judge after being ordered to sit down.”
“In addition to that, they continued to talk and make statements without permission, did not obey the judge’s orders to not speak or make statements without permission. Afterwards, Shant Harutyunyan insulted the judge, while prisoners Miasnik Malkhasyan, Alexander Arzumanyan, Sasun Mikayelyan, Hakob Hakobyan, Grigor Voskerchyan and Suren Sirunyan started making statements, screaming and making noise without the judge’s permission and showed disrespect towards the court and impeded the trial,” as stated in the release.
The Yerevan Criminal Court postponed the trial until 26 February 2009 at 12 p.m.
